PS4 is the cheapest PlayStation home console (when adjusted for inflation)
When adjusted for inflation, PS4 is the cheapest PlayStation home console launch ever.
Sony managed to undercut Microsoft when they announced PS4 will launch for $399, $100 less than Xbox One's $499 launch price. Not only is this significantly less than PS3's launch, when adjusted for inflation, it's the cheapest PlayStation home console launch ever.
According to a price analysis by Ars Technica, PlayStation 4 is cheaper than any previous home console from Sony, with PS2 being valued at $405 when adjusted for today's dollars. Microsoft's new console, on the other hand, is the most expensive Xbox ever--but not by much. Xbox 360 would cost $476 today, and that doesn't include a fancy next-gen Kinect camera, either.

I hope cheap doesn't imply inferiority. As the saying goes you get what you pay for. Like to see the cost analysis of this system and quality of build compared to a 100dollar more better system of xbox one. What is the cost to make both systems and what do you get for performance with the quality of the hardware.
For me its about the games, online platform and controller and Xbox One is the preferred system for my gaming consumption especially with my favorite game exclusive for Xbox One - TitanFall. -
